Central Planning and the Tech Industry

I've been working in "tech" since the late 1990s at first in the real economy and then in the "information economy".

It seems like the "information" industry is reaching its own brownfield stage and the companies that make the gadgets and components of the information industry are attempting to turn into mass production/commodity producers, even though the design and production of the gadgets and systems that drive the information economy depends on software, which is really not amenable to mass production. In fact, it seems like any attempt to "automate" software production just evolves into a giant parasite that costs more than a cottage industry, disorganized approach.

The "information economy" is about "data mining", now. The initial tech boom of the 1970s-90s and the automation of industry boosted productivity/crapflation, but is now at the marginal/negative "returns" phase. "Data mining" is like spending $10 to save $9... or like making a living clipping coupons. It's really just a manifestation of all the funny money coming out central banks being sopped up in big piles of shitty old servers and databases of fundamentally useless information.

The information economy is producing the "infrastructure" of the central planning techno-dystopia society, which is really like trying to build a national economy on coupon clipping. The promised "savings" and "efficiency" of the systems of the electronic gulag are really just a reduced quality of life and loss of freedom for average people.

There's no point in "fighting" back against this thing. The most effective way to eradicate this thing is to abandon it because it is a pure parasite.
